Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal says macroeconomic data suggests the current crypto cycle could extend into Q2 2026. The current crypto market is mirroring the pattern seen in 2017 when Bitcoin posted a steady uptrend throughout the year before skyrocketing in December, says crypto research platform Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal. “It’s spookily similar to 2017,” Pal said in a video on Thursday. Pal said he is starting to forecast a longer crypto cycle this time around given that the business cycle score — a macroeconomic model he uses to track where the global economy is in the broader cycle — is “still below 50” and it generally “takes a while to climb up.” Bitcoin (BTC) started 2017 trading around $1,044 before reaching $2,187 by May 31 and closing the year at $14,156, an approximate 1,255% increase from its price at the beginning of the year, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Eric Semler says he enjoys being the “lone voice crying in the wilderness” with Bitcoin as most hedge fund executives think Bitcoin is a “fly-by-night concept.” Eric Semler, chairman of healthcare tech firm Semler Scientific Inc., says many of his hedge fund peers are skeptical about Bitcoin’s future once US President Donald Trump leaves office. “I think that they think it is a fly-by-night concept and that it is probably going to, after the Trump administration, go back down a lot,” Semler told Coin Stories host Natalie Brunell on Thursday. Semler, who also founded hedge fund TCS Capital Management in 2001, made his comments amid skepticism within the crypto industry about how long political support for crypto will last after US President Donald Trump’s administration ends.
